winget update exclusion list

[rajeshjaga]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

While using the command winget update to update the all apps there are few apps we would like to hold back from updating. It would be great to pass in a list of app ids or app names that should be excluded from the winget update.

Proposed technical implementation details

Take in an array/list and diff them with the app updates available, take the excluded list from that are available only in the updates available and update only this list
